Jimmy Carter Man From Plains (2007)

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Limited Release: Oct 26, 2007; Rated: PG; Length: 125 Minutes; Genre: Documentary; Distributor: Sony Pictures Classics

This Jonathan Demme doc is a gripping meditation on the very hot-button-ness of the Israeli-Palestinian question. Carter emerges as a furious contradiction: He's pious, stubborn, compassionate, testy, moral, unreasonable, and wise.
